Yagyu Saburo exchanged a few more words with Matsumotoro, and at Matsumoto's invitation, he slowly walked to the back room.

Yagyu Saburo asked as he walked, "What about Taro-kun, why didn't you see him?"

"Big brother" talked about Taro Matsumoto, Matsumoto's face became distorted, and he stopped talking.

Saburo Yanagi went to ask Sakurako Matsumoto again, but Sakurako Matsumoto sighed sadly and didn't elaborate. When everyone approached the inner room, they saw a white couplet hanging on the door of the inner room, and an eye-catching paper wreath outside, standing outside the door, Yanagi Saburo could hear the small suona drumming and beating inside, as well as the sound of chanting scriptures, and then realized that Matsumoto Taro had died!

"Taro," Saburo Yagyu said tremblingly.

Matsumoto nodded helplessly, approached the hall and took out six incense sticks, three for Yagyu Saburo and three for Xiong Yu.

Matsumoto Lang sighed and said, "Give my eldest brother a pillar of incense, he is already gone." ”

Kumashi and Yagyu Saburo took the incense from Matsumoto's hand, lit it, bowed three times to Matsumotoro's mourning hall, and inserted the incense into the incense burner. Cigarette smoke curled slowly in front of Taro Matsumoto's spiritual seat.

Matsumoto led Kumayu and Yagyu Saburo to a side room to rest, and the room was empty.

Xiong and Yagyu Saburo sat in their seats, and Matsumoto and Sakurako came in with some melon and fruit snacks for Xiong and Yagyu Saburo to eat. Matsumoto whispered in Matsumoto Sakurako's ear and told Matsumoto Sakurako to stay and greet the guests, and then Matsumoto went down to the kitchen to cook.

As soon as Matsumoto left, Yagyu Saburo asked Sakurako, "Sakurako, how did your father die?" ”

"He who died of disease. Sakurako said very hesitantly, as if even she was not sure how Taro Matsumoto died.

Yagyu Saburo noticed this and asked, "Was it really a sick death, or was he murdered?"

Sakurako was startled and almost fell to the ground. Xiong Yu held Sakura in time, Sakura was shocked, and said after a long time: "No, no, Daddy is really sick to death, really sick to death." ”

After following Yanagi Saburo for a long time, Xiong Yu can occasionally understand a few words of Japanese and understand the meaning of the conversation between Yanagi Saburo and Sakurako.

Yagyu Saburo concluded that Sakurako intended to conceal it, and said: "Sakurako, uncle is back, don't be afraid, tell me, how your father died, I will definitely help you find the murderer and return your father's innocence." ”

Sakurako cried: "Uncle Yanagi, please don't ask again, my father is really sick and dying, you just let him go clean!"

"Walk cleaner?" Xiong asked, "Do you want your father's death so much?"

Xiong Xian spoke Chinese, and after saying a word, Sakurako seemed to understand Chinese, and said in unskilled Chinese: "You are Chinese?"

Kuma nodded wistfully, and Saburo Yanagi briefly introduced Sakurako to Sakurako in English. Sakurako seemed to be much bolder after learning that Xiong Hao was Chinese, and many things that she didn't dare to say were also spoken.

Sakurako said: "Actually, I also think that my father's death is very strange. ”

"Weird?" Saburo Yanagi asked.

"Yes, it's weird. First of all, there was something wrong with the timing of my father's death, which made me a little suspicious, because I had come to see him the morning before he died. At that time, his spirit and complexion did not look like he was sick at all. Uncle Yanagi, Mr. Xiong, you have to trust me. I have studied medicine, there is no big achievement, but there are still some experiences, although this is not very accurate, but the ** score is absolutely no problem. ”

Sakurako Matsumoto once learned some medical skills from Yamamurai, a divine doctor on Irabu Island, so she naturally has the strength to say this.

"Uncle Yanagi, you also know that according to the customs of Irabu Island, people can't be buried until the third day after they die, but when I came back from practicing medicine outside, my father was already buried!"

"How so?" Yagyu Saburo asked, "If that's the case, your second uncle should be suspicious, how could he?"

"My second uncle didn't catch up at all, and when he came back, my father was already buried, and I don't know if he doubted it or not. However, looking at his haggard appearance these days, it doesn't look like he is suspicious. ”

In the past few days, Matsumoto has been busy with the aftermath of Matsumoto Taro, and he hasn't slept for several days and nights. The day before, Taro Matsumoto was buried in the ground, which was much easier.

Saburo Yagyu nodded, agreeing with Sakurako's statement. In Yagyu Saburo's impression, Matsumoto is a man who loves beauty very much, and if there were no major changes, he would not be the stubble-covered and unkempt dignity of Fang Cai. Matsumoto Taro and Matsumoto Taro have relied on each other since he was a child, making a living by hunting and farming, and Matsumoto Taro died suddenly, which was a very big blow to Matsumoto Taro.

"Did your father die in the family, and who first knew your father died?" Xiong Yu suddenly asked, Sakurako didn't understand Xiong Yu's words, and after Yanagi Saburo translated it, Sakurako didn't understand anything.

Sakurako said: "I heard my second uncle say that my father did not die at home, but outside. When I brought it home, I didn't have the money to buy a mahogany coffin, so I wrapped my father's body in a mat. Later, my second uncle went back one step ahead of me, and when I came back, my father was already buried. ”

"Isn't the back still in the coffin?" Xiong asked.

"Let it go. When I came back, I had already released it, and I heard that the first few childhood friends of my father in the village had bought it with money. My family is not wealthy, but they are very generous. My father liked to make friends when he was alive, and I got to know them. Thanks to them, my father was able to settle down. ”

Saburo Yanagi nodded, and he agreed with Sakurako's statement. If it weren't for Matsumoto's generosity, Saburo Yagyu would have died a few years ago.

You know, the indigenous people of Irabu Island are very xenophobic. After Yagyu Saburo swept his opponent in the Toei martial arts and did not taste defeat, he traveled all over the world and floated south in a small boat to Irabu Island. But because of the lack of adaptation, Saburo Yanagi contracted epilepsy and almost died.

If it weren't for Matsumoto Taro who was not afraid of danger and extended a helping hand, Yagyu Saburo would have been beaten to death by the original inhabitants of Irabu Island, even if he would not have died of illness. Because of this incident, Taro Matsumoto offended a lot of original residents.

"Do you know where your father died?" Xiong asked.

Sakurako shook her head, and by this time Matsumoto had already come in with a sweet and delicious meal. He put the meals on the table one by one, and his movements were very quick.

Kumashi looked at Matsumotoro's hand and noticed that the palm and fingers of his right hand were calloused, and only those who had used a sword or knife for many years had such hands. And his left hand is much smoother. Therefore, it is judged that Matsumoto is not left-handed. Although Matsumoto Lang has a haggard face, his demeanor is not sluggish at all, and his right hand is powerful, so he should be from a Lian family.

But Sakurako and Saburo Yagyu said that Taro Matsumoto and Matsumoto were both authentic farmers, so how could he have a right hand with a sword or a knife?

Xiong wistfully grabbed Matsumotoro's right hand and asked, "Your right hand?"

Matsumoto broke free of Xiong's hand, put away his right hand, and said respectfully: "Distinguished guests are coming from afar, please dine first." I still have a few dishes that I haven't fried, so I'm out of company. ”

Matsumoto Lang said that he was about to leave, and Yagyu Saburo shouted: "Jiro, the dishes are enough, don't make too much." ”

Matsumoto Lang said: "Yanagi-kun, I haven't seen you for many years, how can I snub you? You should also be hungry, eat first." I'll come later. Matsumoto said goodbye and went to the kitchen again.

Xiong looked at Sakura and said, "Is your second uncle really a farmer?"

"He's not a farmer!" Sakurako replied casually, "Second uncle, he is not a farmer at all. I heard my father say before his death that when the second uncle was young, he was the first samurai of Irabu Island, and he was admired by many people! However, because of an accident, his fiancée Miko Ito passed away strangely, and the second uncle collapsed and left Irabu Island. Seriously, if it weren't for the sudden death of my father, I really wouldn't have met my second uncle. ”

Sakurako had not been meeting Matsumoto for the first time, but Yagyu had seen him a few years ago.

Yanagi Saburo sighed and said, "If you talk about Jiro's martial arts, eighty percent of them are still taught by me." Taro saved me back then, and I'm going to teach Taro some self-defense skills. But Taro was reluctant to practice martial arts and became involved in martial arts disputes. I was worried that the Matsumoto family would be attacked by some of the original inhabitants, so I passed on my martial arts to Jiro. Jiro is gifted and intelligent, and he can learn it as soon as he learns. I quickly learned most of my skills. Later, I left Irabu Island, and I don't know what happened after that. ”

Matsumotoro's martial arts were taught by Yagyu Saburo, Yanagi Sanlang used a knife, and Matsumoto naturally used a knife. The palm and fingers of his right hand were calloused, but his left hand was much smoother. According to Yanagi Sanlang's habit of using knives, it should be that his left and right hands are covered with calluses!

"Actually, I secretly checked it before you came. Sakurako whispered, "I secretly checked around Irabu Island the other day, and although I didn't make any major discoveries, I found out where my father might have died. ”

"Where?" Yagyu Saburo's eyes widened and he asked in shock.

"Altar! Sakurako cautiously watched her surroundings to make sure that there was no one, and then lowered her voice and said.

Yagyu Saburo's face changed drastically, and he said, "How did he go there?

"Does Uncle Yagyu know about the altar too?" Sakurako asked.

"Yes, of course I do. If I hadn't strayed into the altar of Irabu Island and been mistaken for a disaster star or a devil by the indigenous inhabitants here, I wouldn't have almost been killed by them. ”
